Token Picks

Elite Boutique Performance That Actually Fits Your Budget.

For too long, acoustic musicians have had to choose between "disposable" nylon picks or spending a fortune on a single boutique plectrum. Token Picks has officially changed the game. By utilizing advanced CNC-machining and aerospace-grade materials like PEEK and Torlon®, Token delivers the same lightning-fast "speed bevels" and wear resistance favored by pros like Chris Eldridge and Jake Workman—but at a price point that makes sense for every player. Whether you are flatpicking a dreadnought or driving a mandolin, Token's 100% US-made picks offer the volume, clarity, and grip you need to elevate your playing.

Why Token Picks are the New Standard for Flatpickers

When it comes to high-performance plectrums (picks), consistency is everything. Unlike traditional boutique picks that are hand-beveled—leading to slight variations from pick to pick—Token Picks are individually machined. Every curve, thickness, and bevel is designed in a software environment and cut with micron-level precision. This means when you find the Token pick you love, your backup pick will feel and sound identical.

Choosing Your Material: Amber, Tan, or Green?

Token offers three distinct engineering-grade materials to help you fine-tune your "TAS" tone:

  • Amber (PEI): The classic "boutique" feel. Highly durable with a warm, balanced tonal response that works beautifully on Eastman acoustic guitars.
  • Tan (PEEK): Extremely wear-resistant and mechanically stable. This material offers a slightly brighter "chirp" and exceptional "glide" across the strings.
  • Green (PAI/Torlon®): The powerhouse. Offered in a unique compression-molded form only found at Token, this material is incredibly stiff and produces massive volume and punch—perfect for cutting through a bluegrass jam.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are premium picks worth the price?
Absolutely. While a standard pick wears down quickly and creates "drag," a premium pick like Token uses engineering-grade plastics that last significantly longer and provide a smoother release from the strings. This results in better tone, more volume, and less hand fatigue.
What is the difference between the materials?
Token offers Amber (PEI) for a classic, warm balance; Tan (PEEK) for extreme durability and a slick feel; and Green (PAI/Torlon®) for maximum stiffness and volume. Each material offers a unique "flavor" to your instrument's natural voice.
Do they come in left-hand bevel?
Yes! Because Token picks are individually machined using CNC technology, they can be precisely cut for both right-handed and left-handed players, ensuring every guitarist gets the perfect speed bevel.
